User manual MACKIE PA261 DATASHEET

[. . . ] Vision Series The PA261 is an extremely versatile wide-dispersion, low-profile, two-way loudspeaker system offering substantial power and value for a variety of professional applications that include primary sound reinforcement and supplementary fill for larger systems. Its sub-compact size makes it ideal for low visibility column, side-wall or under-balcony mounting. The high-frequency section is a constant directivity horn loaded to a 1-inch titanium diaphragm tweeter for smooth, wide dispersion.

The two low-frequency transducers shall be cone type loudspeakers having cone diameters of at least 6 inches/152 mm. They shall have voice coils of at least 3 inches/76 mm in diameter and carbon fiber diaphragms. Sensitivity shall be at least 90 dB when measured at 1 m with an input of 1 watt and the power rating shall be at least 200 watts (AES), 800 watts peak. The high-frequency section shall have a compression driver with a titanium diaphragm of at least 1 inch/25 mm in diameter. It shall have a nominal coverage pattern of 100° horizontal by 100° vertical. The system shall be crossed over by an internal, highlevel, passive network having a response of 12 dB/octave. The lowpass section of the network shall have minimum inductance in series with the low-frequency drivers. A switch shall be provided to disconnect the crossover network, but not the high-frequency protection circuit, from the drivers to allow bi-amp operation. The enclosure shall be a vented design with an internal volume of at least 0. 83 cubic feet.
